Nary who had never met before their selection as the party's 1940 standard bearers, Franklin D. Roosevelt

years. President Roosevelt and Secretary of Agriculture Wallace are shown above conferring on strategy

Storm troopers with arms linked hold back the crowds as Adolf Hitler, leader of the Reich, returns
to Berlin in triumph after the successful military operations of his armies in France. One of his first acts on his
return was to promote a number of his generals to the rank of marshal. Goering was made a “Reich's Mar-
shal." Hitler stands upright in his official car and returns the salutes of thousands of his greeters.
Sino-Japanese War Goes Savagely Ahead
While the war in Europe has diverted attention away from the Sino-
Japanese conflicts, scenes like the one above show that hostilities are
still in progress. The Japanese soldier is one of a party wiping out
the streets of Ichang, one of the most important strategic points in the
defending army of Generalissimo Chiang Kai-shek. A bomb explodes in
the background.
Young Briton Inaugurates Big Push
This young citizen of Southgate, England, is doing his bit for king
and country, following a call by the mayor of his city for citizens to turn
in their old scrap metal and help make the sinews of war for the defense
of Britain. The youngster went from door to door with his homemade
cart collecting odds and ends. The campaign in Southgate was duplicated
in other English towns with citisens turning in scrap metal.

W hispered Secrets
I As everyone is pleased with im-

not yet commonly divulged, se-

but it is for the most part be-

whispers, and when once it is
openly told, is openly refuted.—Dr.

fresh-looking as a spray of ap-

be lovely in silk print or flat crepe,

houses, factories, breweries, ho-

for more than 40,000,000 egg-lay-

cages equipped with feed, water

For instance, a $1,000,000 Florida
hotel that failed a short time ago
is now a “chicken coop” with 60,-
000 caged hens.

Just the Reverse
At a reception the woman chatted for
some time with the distinguished guest.
One of the listeners complimented her.
“Oh, really,” the said with a smile,

The distinguished guest smiled gal-
lantly.
“Not at all, not at all, my dear lady.
